When you plan ahead you can decide how much to eat and when. The making of better food selections whilst at the same time making sure that you won't go hungry, helps your average health and makes certain that your fat stores are fitting to your body's needs. I tried those "low-carb", "low-calorie", "low-fat", etc. types of diets and all they did was REDUCE my metabolism. The lean and green meal can be used to fulfill that craving any time you want it.
